on Friday, June 21, 2013

Dark Age is a term which defines the era of middle ages from 5th to 9th century. Dark Age typically depicts the era in which Rome Empire fell down and when no culture was founded. The Dark Age comprises on the 700 years of continuous war in which many people lost their habitat and living culture. Wars were held between different emperors who were ruling and running the Rome Empire.

According to the historians, the Rome Empire was built by two twin brothers who were named Romulsus and Remus. This empire was the first to be formed in the region which was known as Ephesus, where modern Turkey is present now. The habitat of the Romans increased naturally, and they spread all over Europe. The building of Roman Empire was started in the middle of the 8th century. The first Roman civilization was formed in Turkey. Gradually the immense of Roman people covered North Africa and conquered Greece and Spain. The religion they were following at that time was Buddhism and worship of idols. They spoke Latin language, and at the end of 8th century the whole Italy was covered with the Rome people. The occurrence Christianity in this region was held in 68 AD and 30BC. After the arrival of Christian religion, the whole region turned into Christians after great efforts of different Christian saints. The removal of many statues representing the Buddhism was demolished, and the buildings of Roman ruler were also demolished by Christians.

The word dark ages are often neglected by the historian because of it uncomplimentary meaning. When the Western Roman Empire was demolished, because of their conflicts, the rulers of that big empire wanted to take the responsibility of everything and for this they started fighting each other. The whole setup of life was upset in the Middle Ages which were also known as the dark ages. The people living in this era were suffering from hunger and poverty. The economic conditions were totally deprived and were very poor. After the 11th century, because of the powerful efforts of the Christian saints, the European people started to work again and build a new society.

The rulers of Roman Empire were totally fragile and left the empire after the era of dark ages. The people living in Europe again transformed their energies and stood to make some useful efforts for the region to flourish again. These people worked very hard and tried to achieve healthy relations with other countries of the world. The trend of ruling and empires was highly condemned and fated. Although after the decline of Byzantine power and the sudden rise of the Norman civilization gave a quick and strong support to the demolished civilization of Europe. The people from Northern Italy played an active role in the rebuilding of a new civilization. The whole region started following one single religion which was Christianity. They developed relations with China and Egypt, and started trading with them. During the era after dark ages or in the time period of renaissance many new towns or rebuilding of old towns were done especially after late 11th century.
